Encryption Page
In this page you may secure your network by using WEP (Wired Equivalent Privacy)
“
802.11b/g standard of 64/128 bytes ”. Select Disable to disable WEP encryption. When
“64bits” or “128bits” is selected, the data transmitted will be encrypted and unauthorized users
will be prevented from accessing the wireless network.
Authentication Type
You may select from “Open System”, “Shared Key”, “Both”, “WPA” and
“WPA-PSK”. The default value of authentication type is “Shared Key”.
Open System The sender and the recipient do not share a key. Each
party generates its own shared key and asks the
receiver to accept the (usually randomly) key. Once
accepted, this key is used for a short time only, then a
new key is generated.
Shared Key
The sender and the recipient share a key.
If you select “Shared Key” or “Both”, the WEP option, “Disable”, will not be
avaiable.
